Padu

Josep Maria Padullés

(b. 1962, Spain)

'Potemkin' Zona 84 #75 (August, 1990)

Catalan artist Padu was trained at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona. He contributed comics to Taka de Tinta, a magazine published by this school in the mid 1980s. He also published a couple of short stories in Rambla Quincenal in 1984. He undertook a more ambitious project when he joined writer Oscaraibar to do the science fiction series 'Potemkin'. This was serialized in ten parts which appeared between the December 1989 issue and the October 1990 issue of monthly magazine Zona 84, published by Toutain. In 1993 Padu collaborated with Manel Fontdevila and Pep Brocal on the creation of magazine Mr. Brain, published by Camaleón Ediciones.
